Zhytomyr is actively implementing strategic infrastructure and social initiatives aimed at sustainable community development, improving quality of life, and advancing green energy and medical infrastructure. Below is one of the most ambitious and innovative projects open for co-financing and international partnerships.

🏥 New Construction of a Rehabilitation Center at Municipal Hospital No. 2 Named After V.P. Pavlusenko, Zhytomyr City Council

📍 Location: Zhytomyr, 3 Chudnivske Highway
📁 Sector: Healthcare
💶 Estimated Cost: €20 million
⏳ Implementation Period: 3 years

Project Overview:

Zhytomyr region is the most militarized region in Ukraine and ranks third in the number of combat veterans. Currently, Zhytomyr is home to 7,215 combatants, including 2,017 persons with disabilities.

It is estimated that up to 70,000 residents of the region will require rehabilitation services. However, there is currently no specialized medical center to meet this demand.

The project aims to improve quality of life, promote the social integration of veterans, and support both physical and psychological recovery—helping individuals return to civilian life.

Key Features:

In June 2024, the Italian architectural firm PIUARCH developed the concept for the rehabilitation center in Zhytomyr.

The center will consist of three main pavilions:

• General reception area
• Therapy unit
• Inpatient unit with patient rooms

It will serve 120 inpatients and 100 outpatients simultaneously. Rehabilitation services will be available to both adults and children in inpatient and outpatient settings.

The center will have the capacity to treat up to 5,000 patients annually.

Facilities will include:

• An inclusive swimming pool
• Rooms for medical procedures and physical therapy
• Dining facilities
• Shelters and other essential infrastructure

⚡ New Construction of a Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP) Using Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF/RDF) and Other Types of Alternative Fuels in Zhytomyr

📍 Location: Zhytomyr, 92 Serhiy Paradzhanov Street
📁 Sector: Energy
💶 Estimated Cost: €64 million
⏳ Implementation Period: 2.5 years

Project Objective:

To reduce the consumption of imported natural gas by switching to alternative fuels, minimize environmental impact, develop renewable energy sources, and implement energy-efficient measures.

Key Features:

The construction of the CHP plant will enable the heating of an entire city district with 36,000 residents, while also enhancing the reliability of electricity and heat supply to social and critical infrastructure in Zhytomyr.

Technical Specifications:

The feasibility study proposes the construction of a modular biomass power plant with the following features:

• Electrical capacity: 9.9–13.1 MW
• Heat generation: 0–22 MW
• Fluidized bed boiler with a cooled grate, designed for RDF/SRF and biomass
• Fully compliant with European standards

Project Readiness:

• A feasibility study has already been developed
• A 5.3765 ha land plot has been allocated and is municipally owned
• The site is located next to an operational electrical substation and grid connections for feeding electricity into the city network
• A newly built municipal solid waste processing plant producing RDF/SRF is located on the eastern edge of the city—less than 4 km from the CHP site, ensuring efficient fuel delivery.

💧 Reconstruction of the Water Treatment Facility and Pumping Station in Zhytomyr

📍 Location: Zhytomyr, 120 Chudnivska Street
📁 Sector: Water Supply, Sanitation, and Waste Management
💶 Estimated Cost: €8.8 million
⏳ Implementation Period: 2 years

Project Overview:

The city has already completed the reconstruction of the main water pumping station and partially replaced pipelines and other components of the water supply system. This project represents the final phase of a comprehensive upgrade of Zhytomyr’s water infrastructure.

Due to climate change and anthropogenic factors, the existing reservoir—the city’s primary water source—no longer ensures adequate raw water quality. The project involves reconstructing the water treatment facility and increasing its capacity from 51,000 m³/day to 75,000 m³/day, aligning with current consumption needs.

Technical Features:

The new treatment system will introduce multi-stage physical-chemical purification, including:

• Reagent dosing
• Coagulation
• Flocculation
• Sedimentation
• Gravity filtration

An activated carbon adsorption system will improve the water’s taste, smell, and appearance. A wash water recirculation system will settle and reuse water in the treatment cycle, with overall losses and process water use not exceeding 1.5% of the treated volume—boosting system efficiency and resource conservation.

Project Readiness:

• Feasibility study completed
• Design and cost documentation prepared
